should be able TO gauge most accurately tho market

Enjoy Life.

What truly beautiful world We live
in, Nature gives us grandeur of noun
tains, glens and oceans, and thousands OF
means of enjoyment We can desire no
better when in perfect health; but how
often DO the majority of people feel like
giving il up disheartened, discouraged
and worn out with disease, when there is
no occasion for this feeling, as every suf-
ferer can easily obtain satisfactory proof,
that GREEN'S lugis Ffos,er, will make them
free from disease as when born. Dyspep-
sia and Liver Complaint are the direct
causes Of seventy-five per cent of such
maladies as Bihousness, Indigestion,
Sick Headache, Costiveness, Nervous
Prostration, Dizziness Of the Head, Pal
pitation of the Heart, and other distress
ing symptoms. Three doses of -iegas

The Editor and His Son.

have an acquaintance who assists in
editing morning paper, but he does not
believe in allowing his children to utter
ly forget him. He does not want his boys
to think they are orphans just because
he isnot always at home. He is man
of very strong will and strict disciplin-
arian. So he gets a holiday every two
weeks in order TO go home and do up his
punishing
One time he found that his eldest or
oldest son--I do not know which, because
] am awav from home without my libra
ry-had violated the rules ofthe house in
a sad manner.
As near as / am able TO come at the
facts, the boy had taken a quart of corn
and sewed lohg thread through each
kernel, showing great patience and per-
severence in SO doing. He had then tied
the ends of the threads all together in
one knot, and scattered the corn where a
large flock of geese had been in the habit
of associating and pooling for mutual
profit and Improvement
A man who came along that way about
dusk said he saw about thirty geese
standing around in circle looking re
proachfully at each other and trying TO
agree on some method by which they
could all go home together withot turn
ing part of their crowd wrong side out,
while behind high board fence there
was boy who seemed to be enjoying
himself in a small way.
The incident was reported to the boys
father, who came home and placed his
son under large dry goods box in the
cellar, after which he piled three or four
hundred pounds of coal on top of the in
verted box. He then made a few re-
marks for the boys good, which We're
followed by the smothered remark {:
I" Rats y from the inside of the box. AZ
ter ordering that the box should not be
disturbed until his return, my friend put
on his coat and went back to his work.
This was just as the returns began
to return in the autumn of 81 My
friend did not go home for two weeks
and forgot all about the boy until he
came to do up his punishment for the
fortnight.
When the truth flashed over him he
was filled with the keenest remorse, and
went home as soon as he had sent in the
last proof, but when he went down to the
cellar he found the box empty and the
following note written upon it with a
pencil

Astonishing Success.

It is the duty of every person who has
used BoscheSs G07sm Syrup To let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and
in fact all throat and lung diseases. No
person can use it without immediate re-
lief. Three doses will relieve any case,
and we consider it the duty of all Drug
gists TO recommend it to the poor, dying
consumptiye, at least to try one bottle, as
$4,000 dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where it failed was re-
ported. Such medicine as the German
Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask
your druggist about it. Sample bottles TO
try, sold at 10 cents. Regular size sold
at - cents. Sold by all Druggists and
Dealers, in the United States and Canada.

Stole No More Fur.

The crowd had congregated in our vii
lage store, says q writer in Detroit Free
Press. The grocer had lighted cigar
and was sitting on convenient shelf
with his feet upon the counter The
conversation, which ranged all the way
from the breaking of steers to the forecast
ing of weather for the ensuing week, had
slackened; so when Uncle Dave Bagley
walked in every one looked pleased.
"Helfo Uncle Dave" yelled some
body, for the old fellow is so deaf that
he can hardly hear the fall of the year
~0h, yes Oh, yes. Powerful cold"
answered the old man. ~Wust I've seen

lection.

Yes, sir; lots of it. Hows'ever,

"Couldn't CATCH n eh9r
Huh Ketch it2 IF L c'dn't a ketch-

growing and muttering until the unfor
tunate interlocutor subsidized and was re-
placed by another.
What became OF it, Uncle Dave?"
Stole
"Who stole il?

"Tell us about it,"
'rain't much to tell" said Uncle
Dave. as he borrowed chew of finecut
